Turner, meanwhile, came up with a huge block on a driving Ziaire Williams dunk attempt with under 20 seconds left in overtime to cap off a monster 23-point, 10-rebound, five-block outing.

Turner now has the 2nd-most games in Pacers history with 20+ PTS, 10+ REB, & 5+ BLK!
Indiana, who improved to 40-29, have now a combined winning margin of 12 points in their last three games. That is despite star guard Tyrese Haliburton missing his third straight game and sixth of the last nine with a sore back.
Meanwhile, Ziaire Williams and D'Angelo Russell each scored 22 markers as the Nets dropped their eight-straight loss on the road and slipped to 23-47.
Both teams will run it back on Sunday, March 23.
